I practice with the belief that that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of our selves: the parts we like and the parts we wish to change. We all have unconscious patterns that can get in the way of living the life we want. These patterns can manifest as anxiety, depression, phobias, physical illness or pain, addiction and even rage. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, self esteem, creativity and sexuality. Change is possible when these patterns can be expressed and understood in an open and accepting space.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, questioning your next step, or working toward recovery, you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with teens (15+) and adults navigating addiction, depression, stress, life transitions, and self-discovery. Together, we'll create a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, overcome obstacles, and build the confidence and skills to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy is your journey—you set the pace and I'm here to guide and support you along the way.
With over 18 years of experience in the mental health field, I've worked with children, teens, & adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, developmental disabilities, severe mental illness, & life's unexpected transitions.

When life has become about getting through the day instead of actually living it, therapy can help you find your way back. Whether you're carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or experiences that still feel unresolved, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck. My goal isn't simply to help you cope—it's to help you feel more like yourself again, with greater confidence, peace, and room for joy.

Life doesn't always fall apart all at once. Sometimes it's years of stress, painful experiences, relationship struggles, or simply trying to hold everything together until it becomes too much. I work with teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autism, trauma, psychosis, substance use, and life's unexpected challenges. Together, we'll create a space where you can better understand what's happening, develop practical tools, and begin moving toward a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.

Growing up, stepping into adulthood, and figuring out who you are can feel exciting one moment and overwhelming the next. If you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling unsure of yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down and reconnect with who you are. I work with teens and young adults to create a space where you can be honest, ask hard questions, process painful experiences, and discover the confidence to move forward with clarity and purpose.

Sometimes it feels like you've lost sight of who you are beneath the stress, anxiety, trauma, or expectations of everyone around you. I help children, teens, adults, couples, and families reconnect with themselves by exploring the stories they've been living and deciding which ones still serve them. Whether you're navigating depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to uncover your strengths, clarify your values, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Life looks different for everyone, which is why therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Whether you're a teen struggling with friendships, a college student facing social anxiety, a young adult searching for direction, or a parent trying to better support your child, I'm here to help. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, school stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and life transitions. Together, we'll create a plan that helps you feel more confident, connected, and equipped to move forward.

When your child is struggling, it's easy to feel like you've tried everything and still don't know how to help. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, trauma, ADHD, overwhelming emotions, behavioral challenges, or school-related stress, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with children (5+), young adults, and families to create a place where healing feels possible, emotions begin to make sense, and confidence grows. I also provide EMDR therapy for young adults ready to process trauma, reduce anxiety, and move forward without feeling defined by their past.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.
